Topic: CLEAN SCAN

Hi all. Again, I have been off the site for the most part. I finished chemo and with my last infusion dose lowered I am already starting to feel better. I also had my second scan since my surgery in January and first scan since chemo. My oncologist told me that it looked "pristine." She said I am "comfortably in remission." Not only that she said I can get my port out as soon as possible. I left the office crying. Part of me and I have mentioned this before, feels somewhat bad for posting good news as I wish everyone was able to be cured or in remission from this cancer. At the same time I hope some find it a hopeful and inspiring story. This time last year I was told I had a 18cm tumor and that surgery would most likely never be an option. I can't believe that it has already been a year and so much as happened within this last year at times it's still shocking to me. Thank you for all the continued support and I am grateful for all of you, this site has been an amazing support and resource for me since I registered last year. Hugs an blessings to all.Porter

Re: CLEAN SCAN

Porter - Wonderful new to hear. So glad that all looks good. Now to get the pesky port out. Mark could but he shudders to think of blood draws so for now I will keep managing it. I am so very, very happy for you.
